HoSS Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I thought there was a tech archive article on removing the skin from the doors, but i must have dreamed it... Can anyone who's done it give me some info? How difficult? Results after? (i.e wrinky door? needs repaint?) My frame on 2nd row doors are totally shot- if repair by removing skin will avoid a respray that would be magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Only if you don't want the old door skins, just use a file around the edge to split skin from door frame, then prise off the folded strips & skin hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Removal will generally scrap the skin, so get the grinder out Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpb Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I managed to do this on a Series 3 split door. Drilled all of the rivets out, then carefully worked around the door with a couple of small pry bars. Once all the flaps had been bent lifted it straight off. When I stuck it back together, I put duck tape on the door skin to stop the different metals contacting. Then dressed the flaps down with a pieceof wood and a hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
